Tomatoes are easy to grow from seed sown indoors in warm conditions. Sow from late February to mid-March if you’ll be growing your crop in a greenhouse, or from late March to early April if they’ll be outside.- Tomatoes;
Sunflowers are mainly sown from mid-April to the end of May.- Sunflower. Other gardening societies may offer different advice. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:30, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

The article Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety, and Biodefense Law has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Journal is published by De Gruyter but it's website there does not indicate any databases indexing it, so it fails WP:NJournals. One of the three references is a short description on the website of Texas Tech University. The other two references are just in-passing mentions, so this also fails WP:GNG.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Randykitty (talk) 09:28, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Whispyhistory! I'm writing to share information about the Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust (ARTT). For context, ARTT aims to provide motivated citizens with tools and resources to discuss vaccine efficacy online. It could potentially help to encourage the use of quality sources in articles and also promote the use of high quality articles by those looking for ways to combat disinformation. With that in mind, we are currently seeking input from experienced editors on what they believe are the most important elements of high-quality vaccine articles. Might you be interested in joining other Wikipedians for an informal workshop on June 15 at 12pm Eastern US (4pm UTC)? If so, please RSVP to info@wikidc.org. Thanks!
